A Little Midweek Luxury: Spa Days at Bainland
There is something particularly appealing about a spa day when the seasons change. When mornings become crisp, afternoons turn cooler and evenings arrive earlier, a little time spent somewhere warm and peaceful can feel like exactly what you need.
At The Spa at Bainland, our two-hour Spa Experiences are available throughout the day, making it easy to fit a little luxury around your plans. Choose a Morning, Afternoon or Twilight Spa and spend two uninterrupted hours moving between luxurious indoor and outdoor facilities at your own pace.
Whether you’re travelling solo, planning a relaxed day with your partner or getting a group of friends together, the quieter seasons are an inviting time to treat yourself to a bit of midweek comfort.
Why Choose a Midweek Spa Day?
Weekends always have a way of filling up quickly. There are dozens of plans to make, errands to run and places to be. A midweek spa day offers a much-needed chance to step away from the pace of the working week, switch off for a couple of hours and reset.
Our two-hour Spa Experiences can be the perfect start to a longer day, with time for dining, drinks and enjoying each other’s company. Meet a friend somewhere a little more special, turn an ordinary weekday into a date with your partner, or simply come alone and enjoy the luxury of having nowhere else to be.
Step in from the crisp autumn or winter air and into warm water and soothing heat. Take a dip in our heated swimming pool, complete with Vitality Jets for a therapeutic massage experience, unwind in the Himalayan Salt Sauna or steam room, or settle onto a heated lounger with a good book. On crisp days, head to our outdoor spa terrace, sink into our outdoor hot tubs or take the plunge into the invigorating ice bath. Move between hot and cold, indoors and out, with no agenda other than taking your time.
Choose your Perfect Spa Experience
Morning Spa
Morning Spa pairings: Morning Spa, lunch at The Nest, and an afternoon walk or relaxed afternoon at Bainland.
If you like to make the most of your day, our Morning Spa is an easy place to start.
Arrive from 10:30am and settle into two hours of indoor and outdoor spa time. There is no need to hurry from one facility to the next; take things at your own pace. Robes, slippers and towels are all provided, and treatments and drinks can all be added for an additional charge.
It’s great for solo visitors who want some uninterrupted time, couples looking for a leisurely daytime date or friends who would rather catch up somewhere calm.
Afternoon Spa
Afternoon Spa pairings: Lunch, Afternoon Spa, Afternoon Tea, drinks or dinner.
For many visitors, our Afternoon Spa could be the ideal midweek reset. From 2pm, move between the thermal wet spa facilities, heated swimming pool and outdoor hot tubs, with two hours to slow down and enjoy the space. The heated pool is maintained at 28°C, while our outdoor spa area includes two hot tubs to enjoy.
Why not pair your Afternoon Spa with Afternoon Tea at The Nest? From 2nd November, add this to your spa session for £32 per person, with the option to treat yourself to a glass of sparkling Nyetimber.
Twilight Spa
Twilight Spa pairings: Spend the afternoon at Bainland, enjoy dinner or drinks at The Nest, unwind with a Twilight Spa, then retreat to your lodge for a cosy evening by the fire.
Twilight is a natural choice for couples and groups of friends, particularly when paired with dinner or drinks at The Nest.
There is something truly atmospheric about a spa experience after dark. The surroundings feel quieter, and the transition from day to evening makes the experience feel that little bit more special.
Running from 7:45pm to 9:45pm, spend two hours accessing our spa facilities. Take a late-evening swim, warm up in the sauna or step outside into the night air.
Make your Spa Experience your Own
If your idea of a proper reset involves a treatment, we have plenty on offer.
Add a massage
With five massage styles to choose from, there’s an option for everything from easing deeper muscular tension to simply slowing down and enjoying some uninterrupted time to yourself.
Our treatments take place in three private treatment rooms, giving you the opportunity to step away from the spa and settle into a more focused period of relaxation.
- Deep tissue massage: Suited to those who are active, spend long periods at a desk or simply enjoy a more intensive massage, it can help release areas of muscular tightness, improve circulation and ease the feeling of built-up tension.
- Swedish massage: Using flowing strokes and gentle to moderate pressure, it can help encourage circulation and leave you feeling calm and refreshed.
- Hot stone massage: The comforting warmth of heated stones helps create a deeply relaxing experience, allowing our therapists to work into areas of tension.
- Aromatherapy massage: With the natural aromas of essential oils, it’s a lovely choice for helping you slow the pace and create a sense of calm.
- Pregnancy massage: Gentle techniques can help ease some everyday aches for those who are expecting, while providing valuable time to simply rest and unwind.
Add an ELEMIS Facial
If you want to make your spa experience, feel even more indulgent, add an ELEMIS facial to your visit. With a choice of 30-, 60- and 75-minute treatments, there’s time to fit a little extra care into your day, whether you’re looking for a quick boost or want to completely switch off.
Each facial is designed with your individual skin needs in mind, combining ELEMIS skincare with expert massage techniques to leave your skin feeling nourished, hydrated and beautifully refreshed. As the treatment unfolds, gentle lifting and sculpting massage techniques help encourage a sense of deep relaxation and rejuvenate tired-looking skin.
Your treatment is carried out by one of our qualified therapists, giving you uninterrupted time to slow down, switch off and enjoy being pampered.
Stay for Drinks and Dining
Make an afternoon of it with a tantalising selection of sandwiches and savouries with our newly launched afternoon tea. Savour freshly baked scones and an assortment of cakes and desserts, providing the perfect excuse to stay a little longer.
Alternatively, head straight to The Nest and settle in for something to eat, a drink with friends or a relaxed evening together. For lunch, choose from filling sandwiches, comforting mains and a selection of sides. Want to join us for dinner? The menu takes things up a notch, with everything from dry-aged steaks and juicy burgers to pub favourites, spicy katsu curry and fresh salads, alongside plenty of sharing plates that can tantalise the taste buds.
For a midweek stay, keep an eye out for midweek offers, including our popular Tuesday Tipples, available from 4pm to 7pm. Sip on a delicious cocktail, enjoy a glass of gin or wine, settle in with a coffee or choose something else from the menu; the choice is yours! Visiting on a Friday? Don’t miss our , where freshly cooked fish is paired with a glass of Nyetimber or Prosecco. Settle in at the bar or head outside onto the terrace and enjoy a delicious start to the weekend!

Make it a Midweek Stay
Fancy staying longer? Turn your Spa Experience into a proper midweek escape and make Bainland your base for a night or two.
Tucked away in the Lincolnshire countryside, stay in a luxury lodge that feels a world away from the working week. From a couples’ getaway to family breaks or a stay with a group of friends, choose a peaceful lakeside lodge, a spacious villa, or one of our more intimate romantic retreats. All our lodges come with their own private hot tub, so the relaxation doesn’t have to end when you leave the spa.
After your treatment, retreat to your private lodge, slip into the bubbly hot tub and pour yourself a drink before settling into your own space. As the evening draws in, light the log-burning stove, gather around your fire pit and make the most of the evening. Get comfortable, talk late into the night or simply enjoy the warmth of the fire before heading to bed.
Importantly, you don’t even have to leave the lodge when you get hungry. Our in-lodge dining service means you can have food delivered straight to your door, making it easy to keep the evening relaxed. For those special moments, you can even arrange for a private chef or bartender and turn your lodge into your own private dining space!
Selected accommodation is also dog friendly, so your four-legged companion doesn’t have to miss out on the escape. Bring them along for countryside walks, then return to your lodge for a cosy evening together.
Make your Midweek Feel Less Ordinary
You don’t need to wait for the weekend to feel like you’ve got away. Sometimes, two hours is all it takes to change the pace of a busy day.
However, if two hours leaves you wanting more, there are plenty of ways to turn a Spa Experience into something bigger. Add a massage or facial, stay for Afternoon Tea or dinner at The Nest, meet friends for drinks, or make a night of it with a stay in one of our luxury lodges.
From a quiet afternoon to a full midweek escape, come for the spa, stay for the food, the countryside, the company or simply the chance to have nowhere else to be.
This autumn and winter, make space in the middle of the week to slow down, switch off and enjoy something a little more special.
